Thanks for your replay! Hm, yes I've thought also about to use
STREAM_MODE_STOP_CONTINUOUS, but I would like to be able to restart my app
also after a crash. Ok, it should never happen, but one can never guarantee
that case. Do you have an idea, how to deal with such cases? I think it's a
bug in UHD, because in the version 3.9 was that never a problem.
